Radiological Society of North AmericaSep 17 2024 According to a new 10-year study, screening for breast cancer with digital breast tomosynthesis increases cancer detection rates and significantly reduces the rate of advanced cancers compared to conventional 2D digital mammography. The findings were published today in Radiology , a journal of the Radiological Society of North America .
This study is the first to compare 10 years of data on breast cancers detected by DBT to digital mammography-detected cancers." The study cohort included 272,938 screening mammograms, of which 35,544 were performed with digital mammography, and 237,394 were performed with DBT. A total of 1,407 cancers were detected, 142 by mammography and 1,265 by DBT.
According to Dr. Philpotts, digital mammography and DBT detected various subtypes and grades of tumors at similar rates. The ratio of invasive cancers to ductal carcinoma in situ did not differ significantly between the two modalities.
